How to Make Biscoff Brownies
Prepare Your Baking Pan
First, let’s talk about the pan. Take an 8×8 metal baking pan and line it with parchment paper, letting it hang over the edges. This will make lifting out those brownies a breeze later!
Once lined, pop the pan in the freezer for a few minutes. Chilling it ensures the paper holds its shape, giving you clean edges on those delicious Biscoff Brownies.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
Now, grab a mixing bowl and add your cocoa powder, flour, espresso powder, and sea salt. Whisk it all together, ensuring no lumps remain. This step is vital for even flavor and texture.
Espresso powder enhances the chocolate’s depth. Trust me, it’s like magic in a brownie!
Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, it’s time for the wet ingredients! Whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until everything is well blended. The mixture should become smooth and creamy.
Then, melt the butter with the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave or saucepan. Stir until smooth, then fold it into the wet mixture. This adds that ultra-decadent, fudgy feel!
Make the Brownie Batter
Now comes the star of the show! Fold your dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently. You want to combine them, but don’t overmix. We want those brownies to be soft and rich!
When that batter looks just right—thick and chocolatey—you’re ready to move on to layering.
Layer in the Cookie Butter
Here’s where the magic happens! Pour half of the brownie batter into your prepared pan, spreading it to the edges.
Now take that chilled Biscoff cookie butter and slice it into squares. Place it on top of the brownie batter. Then, pour the rest of the brownie batter over the cookie butter. Biscoff goodness is hidden, waiting to surprise your taste buds!
Lastly, break up a few Biscoff cookies and sprinkle them on top. Drizzle some extra cookie butter for a little more indulgence!
Bake to Perfection
Set your oven to 350°F (180°C) and let those brownies bake for 30-40 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center might still be moist. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs—that’s perfection!
Cool and Serve
Remove the pan from the oven and let those heavenly Biscoff Brownies cool on a wire rack. Patience is key! Once cool, lift them out using the parchment paper and slice into squares.
For an extra touch, drizzle more cookie butter over the top before serving. Trust me—everyone will be begging for your recipe!
Tips for Success
- Chill the cookie butter before adding it to the brownies for cleaner layers.
- Use a light hand when mixing to maintain a fudgy texture.
- Let the brownies cool completely for easy cutting.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
- Don’t skip the espresso powder; it amplifies the chocolate flavor!
Equipment Needed
- 8×8 metal baking pan: Essential for baking; you can use a glass pan if needed.
- Parchment paper: Keeps brownies from sticking; aluminum foil is a good alternative.
- Mixing bowls: A versatile set helps with combining ingredients; any large bowl will do.
- Whisk: Great for mixing; a fork can work in a pinch.
- Rubber spatula: Perfect for folding in ingredients; a wooden spoon works too!
Variations of Biscoff Brownies
- Nutty Bliss: Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for a crunchy twist.

- Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour for a gluten-free version.
